lyrics

There isn’t any easy way out of this
You know, and I know
Something got a hold of you but what is it
You don’t know, you said so

I’m feeling your, feeling your grip
Starting to starting to slip
How can I help you hold onto this

You were the one thing that I knew I could count on
but you’re all shook up, all shook up
You know I was ready for someone holdin steady
but you’re all shook up, all shook up

I don’t really know how to reach you now
It’s scary, what could be
I don’t really know how to calm you down
Heart racing, hands shaking

I’m feeling your, feeling your grip
Starting to starting to slip
I just want to help you hold onto this

You were the one thing that I knew I could count on
but you’re all shook up, all shook up
You know I was ready for someone holdin steady
but you’re all shook up, all shook up

I know you don’t know who you are anymore
I know you don’t know but I won’t let you go

You were the one thing that I knew I could count on
but you’re all shook up, all shook up
Come home yeah I’m ready to just hold, hold you steady
cause you’re all shook up, all shook up

AN UNWAVERING BAND OF LIGHT

Great vocal style and a universal sound that can capture even the most particular ear. Not something I would normally gravitate toward, but this album is fantastic. Tim Heffley

Night Shift

Nostalgia, sadness, longing. The whole album feels like autumn: the first crisp mornings, the smell in the air, driving home late on the highway with your window open. It's chilly, but you don't mind. The album encapsulates how you feel as a 20-something reflecting on your childhood, the people you knew, your hometown, longing for a feeling you won't have again. I could listen to this album on repeat forever. perhapsitsnate
